Had a lovely birthday dinner at Ingas Bar. Food was amazing as was the service. 3 courses of some of the most delicious food in the city. Thank you for making my birthday so special. Special shout out to Chef Eddie for the killer recommendations. Until next time.

Remember the space from Jack the Horse. It still has a similar but lighter feel. We got there early which was perfect because it definitely fills up. The service was friendly, attentive and knowledgeable. Everything we had was delicious - pickle plate, artichokes, pappardelle and arctic char. Portions are on the smaller side so the plates were practically licked clean. Can't wait to come back and try more dishes, especially as the menu changes seasonally.

Wow! My old hood is stepping up its game with this place!! if you haven't been to Inga, yet, I recommend you try it immediately. Especially if you live in or around Brooklyn Heights. It's in the building that used to house the restaurant Jack the Horse Tavern. Everything we tried on our first visit there was off the chain. The two standouts for me, however, had to be the Victor Salad and the Mortadella. The Victor Salad's star ingredient is celery--sounds crazy for a salad, right? But, whoah!! The celery is actually boiled in vegetable broth until soft and then placed along side other ingredients such as greens, Parmesan, and anchovies. It's unbelievable!! Oh, and that Mortadella--creamy, succulent, and just brilliant. As for mains, try the cheeseburger! Nom!! Since converting over to Ingas, the interior aesthetic didn't change much--it's still dark, quaint and perfect for a date night. But they did reorganize the interior footprint a bit, so it seems a tad more spacious. Finally, I'll send a final shout out to Ingas for the service, which was perfection!! Try this place soon! You will not be disappointed.

Inga's may have been here for over a year already, but I'm somehow just checking out this successor to one of my favorite spots in this part of Brooklyn: Jack the Horse Tavern. (Only old people recall the businesses of yesteryear, and this is fitting because I turned old recently). And I'm glad I did. The room and crowd is just as convivial as it once was, the service is outstanding, and the cocktails are well-balanced and delicious (although I think they could use better ice). We liked the Modern Romance, and they know their way around the classics as well. The food is executed very well. Anyone can find something they like on this menu (including the excellent burger), but there's also some avant garde twists. I'd never heard of the Celery Victor before, but I really enjoyed the weird and wonderful braised celery salad, topped with mustard seeds and chunks of cheese. We started with that, a fluke crudo, and the fried deviled egg, topped high with bacalao and some trout roe. (I was more into it than she was.) As far as mains are concerned, the pork chop is outstanding, with charred onion jam rounding out the whole dish, and the halibut with its mushroom broth and parsnip puree is probably my favorite bite, although it was a laughably small portion for $35. And therein lies the rub. I know we're in Brooklyn Heights. I know there are $12 million dollar brownstones down the street. But if you're going to charge these prices ($14 for two deviled eggs that were a bit too fishy?), everything needs to fantastic. Again, I'm an old man, but dinner for two should only be $250 if everything lives up to that price point. Then again, the room was quite full on a Friday, so maybe I'm off. Perhaps a few celebrity sightings had to do with that. I like it, but for me, the prices push it into special occasion territory, when it's actually a neighborhood restaurant.

I am so happy my friend introduced me to this place. The ambiance is casual but very cute. And the food was really fantastic. I am a sucker for a great salad, but the burger was really great too.

Great service, delicious food- but very loud. Loved: Duck confit- tender and flavored with a nice spice that really made the dish stand out. Arctic char- cooked to perfection: super crispy skin, tender meat. Loved the herbaceous chimichurri style sauce they used to bring a new freshness to the dish. My only complaint was that the place was super loud- although we did go on a Saturday night. It was hard to hear, and we had to shout the whole night to have a conversation, even with folks sitting directly across from me.
